Were you induced if you had gestational diabetes? Was it well controlled and you were still induced? How many weeks along were you at your induction? I have so many questions!
I have my growth ultrasound the day after Mothers Day and my next appointment with a doctor is that Wednesday. I have to ask what my practice's policy is with GD patients.

No...But I wish I was. This last one was 10 pounds, and I still am recovering physically from delivering her. Due to the stillborness and her large factor, I'm pretty much guaranteed that I'll be induced next pregnancy.

I am type 2 diabetic, not gestational, and was induced at 38w6d. My diabetes was well controlled throughout pregnancy. To be honest, the induction wasn't bad and it was nice have a definitive timeline.

No, but LO was breech, so I had a c section, but likely would have been induced around 38 weeks.

No, but I was going to have a repeat C-section anyways. My GD was controlled by diet and very little exercise.

I had gestational diabetes, which I was able to control with diet. I went into labor on my own at 38 weeks 4 days. My LO weighed 5lbs 13oz. I did have issues controlling my levels during labor and had to be given insulin through an IV. LO had no issues, and he was healthy all around.

Yes, but i was also AMA (advanced maternal age). My GD was controlled but the two factors got me an induction at about 39 weeks. LO and I were both fine post c-section. Yes, I ended up with a c-section due to heart rate issues with LO. Dr ultimately said that I likely would have needed one regardless due to her positioning in my pelvis.
